Ryan and I share an alma mater and home city, and I'm a fan of his, but I think he's being a little generous to himself with the B. Yeah, he managed the knockout, but on my card he needed it. I'm sure he would have gotten the gift anyway, but Ryan isn't noted for his power and he can't afford to dog it like that against halfway decent opponents that won't lay down for him. Browning was undefeated, sure, but he's an old man with very limited experience that had been fighting the likes of Clyde Weaver (the hapless tub of lard that Monk Foreman destroyed in his debut).

I'd like to see Ryan step up on one hand, but then again I'm afraid he'd be in over his head against a credible opponent at this point. I hope he gives himself something more like a D privately and works to make his future performances at least match up to that B he gave himself publicly this time around.
